Biographical History
Emerging from the Foundry Council established in 1946, the UAW Foundry Department was organized in 1949 to provide industry wage data and other technical information to local unions representing foundry workers and their servicing representatives. In 1970, the Forge Department, which addressed similar concerns for forge workers, was set up under the direction of Nelson Jack Edwards, the UAW's first African-American vice president.
The two departments merged in 1991.
